Water cooling question.

Thinking about designing a water cooling system and instead of having the normal radiator. Would it be possible to just stick the reservoir in a mini fridge, modify the fridge to have the lines feeding through the wall and keep the fluid inside cool enough on the fridges power alone?

An example of one of the mini fridges i had in mind is here:

It has a cooling low of 40° F. Would it be enough or will the fridge just be on constantly and blow its motor?

That fridge isn't actually a true "refrigerator" it uses a thermoelectric cooler, thats why it can heat up to. The topic of doing this has been discused on these boards many times. I personally think it would "chill" the water, but i would still use a radiator.
 
Hell. For that cost for a TEC, you're better of going down to the autostore/wal-mart (if you're in the states) and picking up one of those TEC 6-pack coolers. They're regular small sized auto coolers for coke/beer/food/whatever. They'll drop the temp on a coke 25-35 below ambient. So would probably have some kinda effect.
